When you choose to make a place your home, what do you imagine the future might look like there?

On June 1, 2020, the Master Plan for Hainan Free Trade Port was officially unveiled, marking the beginning of a new era in the island’s development. Over the past five years, the Hainan Free Trade Port has moved from a smooth launch to rapid progress, and now to a stage where the framework is taking clear shape and forward momentum continues to build, with an expanding range of preferential policies, growing talent exchanges, and increasingly distinct industry strengths.

For those who have put down roots here, one question naturally follows: what will the next five years bring? To explore this important question, we spoke with six long-term expats living in Hainan and used AI to visualize their ideas about the future of the Hainan Free Trade Port. They look forward to a green, open, and technologically advanced Hainan, where people and nature thrive together in harmony.



Close your eyes and imagine - if you used AI to generate a vision of Hainan five years in the future, what would you see?
